Though his latest effort may have proved to be a turkey in retrospect, David Koepp’s writing and directing work on Mortedcai needn’t be an indication on the screenwriter’s venerable career. And it’s a reputation that means that talent is never far off of a studio’s radar, what with Sony Pictures tapping him to help adapt Sylvain Neuvel’s acclaimed novel, The Themis Files.

Described as a sci-fi tome, Neuvel’s book orbits around a young, 11-year old girl named Rose Franklin, who happens across an ancient alien artefact buried beneath the ground in South Dakota. When word begins to spread life wildfire of its existence, the Us government makes an unprecedented move to launch a global investigation into the extra-terrestrial object, and what it could mean for life on earth. Is it a weapon of mass destruction, or something else entirely?

I’ve not read Sylvain Neuvel’s The Themis Files so I had to look it up. According to Neuvel’s own website, it’s a global conspiracy thriller about what happens when we start to find a giant humanoid something buried beneath the Earth.

My best guess is that this giant thing – a robot, a creature – was dismembered and buried in pieces for safety’s sake. Whether that’s for the safety of us humans or for the good of the aliens remains to be seen, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see this all end in an action face-off between a humongous robot and hordes of flying saucers. Or, maybe my imagination is a lot more B-movie influenced than that of original novelist Neuvel.

Deadline is reporting that David Koepp has been hired by Sony to adapt the Sci-fi novel The Themis Files by author Sylvain Neuvel for the big screen. Sony bought the rights for the novel last October which will be published by Del Ray at a future date. Koepp has written his share of tentpole films. He wrote the first two Jurassic Park films. the first Mission Impossible film, the first Sam RaimiSpider-Man and unfortunately Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Heh. But we can see from his past work that he can go big and by the description below Sony needs someone who can handle big visions. The novel revolves around a secret project to assemble the ancient body parts of a giant humanoid...

A Movie Life, Orphan X, The Themis Files, and other movies have made recent film casting, screenwriting, and director news. These films come from movie studios primarily based in the United States. The castings, screenwriters, and directors are subject to change.
